JMBLYA Presents: Rae Sremmurd

rae

The music industry has seen its fair share of powerhouse duo’s, but Rae Sremmurd is one of the hottest additions to that category. If you’ve been to the club, the bar, or even turned on your local Top 40 or hip-hop radio stations in the past year, you’ve heard these guys.

Slim Jimmy and Swae Lee are brothers from Tupelo, Mississippi — the home of other artists like Big Krit, Diplo, and the late, great Elvis. Faced with hardship early in life, they found solace and passion to provide for themselves by making music. They were constantly moving city to city, working jobs at places like McDonalds or mattress factories. They eventually decided to start throwing parties in abandoned houses where they would perform and rage with their friends, cultivating the early stages of their wave “Sremmlife.” They originally started off as Dem Outta S8 Boyz, and landed a spot on BET’s 106 & Park’s segment “Wild Out Wednesdays,” which was followed by meetings with major labels, but they did not land any deals. They kept making music while performing in local clubs. In 2013, they received a phone call from P-Nasty asking them to fly out to Atlanta to work and become part of Mike Will Made It’s infamous collective, The Ear Drummers. They took on the name Rae Sremmurd, an anagram of the collective.

In 2014, they made their first appearance on Mike Will Made It’s compilation #MikeWillBeenTrill, and with their distinctive sound and voices got people talking. Their first single “No Flex Zone” now has over 100 million views on Youtube, and they have over 300 million with their hit “No Type.” This was only the beginning. They soon sold over 120,000 copies of their debut album Sremmlife with features from Nicki Minaj, Young Thug, Jace of 2-9, and Big Sean with the album holding a number one spot on the hip-hop Billboard chart for over eight weeks. Since then, they’ve had even more chart-topping bangers such as “This Could Be Us,” “Up Like Trump,” and “Throw Sum Mo.” The duo is currently wrapping their project Sremmlife 2, that will hopefully be released before the end of 2016.

If for some crazy reason you haven’t heard these guys check out their music below and grab your tickets to see them at JMBLYA 2016.

JMBLYA Presents: Future

future

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve been caught up in the Hendrix storm at least once.

Legally named Nayvadius Wilburn, Future, AKA Future Hendrix, AKA Super Future has shot to mega-stardom in the last five years. Currently, the rapper’s name is synonymous with whatever is trending at the moment. In 2015 alone, he put out three mixtapes and a studio album. He was also featured on nine billboard hits from other artists including Drake, Travis Scott and Rick Ross. You can’t go out these days without hearing at least three of his songs in one night. He’s dropped his own line of emojis that are superbly tailored to his lifestyle and legacy. He released EVOL, his fourth studio album, in February, making it his seventh full-length release in the past 16 months. He’s been with some of the baddest women in the game, brought four kids into the world, and it looks like this guy hasn’t even gotten winded yet.

Beyond the auto-tune and perfect Metro-Boomin’ production, Hendrix speaks on a struggle that some of his crowds can relate to. Climbing out of Kirkwood, a neighborhood in Atlanta, Future became more than a rapper, but a media mogul. On some of his most popular tracks, Future raps about using drugs to fight his demons, and the demons that money has created. As a teen he took a gunshot wound to the hand and in 2006 Future was arrested. It’s not uncommon for hip-hop artists to go from nothing to something, but Future has set the bar even higher for those looking to break into the game.

Future’s music career began when he worked with his cousin Rico Wade, who encouraged him to hone his writing skills and work towards being a rapper. Future calls Rico the “mastermind” of his sound. Hendrix started out as a songwriter, his big break coming when he co-wrote the hit “Racks” for YC in 2011. That same year, Drake joined him for a remix to “Tony Montana,” which propelled Future’s name into mainstream music. Since then, his infamous work ethic has resulted in a total of four studio albums and thirteen mixtapes so far, with the “Beast Mode 2” mixtape set for release in May of 2016. His mixtape 56 Nights was inspired by DJ Esco’s 56-night stay in a Dubai jail for possession of an illegal substance. DJ Esco’s powerful account of the experience ties in with the message on “March Madness.” The hit is one Future’s most well-known, with the social undertones of the song touching on the plight that African Americans face from the authorities. While he flaunts his money and rich tastes, he makes sure to stay connected to his home base and the people who support him the most.

The Future Hive is looking forward to JMBLYA in May to see Hendrix perform with a stacked line up including Kehlani, Rae Sremmurd, and Kevin Gates. Get your tickets soon to keep Boomin’ on your side, cause we all know what happens when Young Metro don’t trust you. Listen to Future below and get your tickets here

JMBLYA Presents: Carnage

carnage copy

Carnage is a man of many aliases. From birth name Diamante Blackmon, to the social media stylized Papi Gordo, to titled head honcho of #ChipotleGang, to the self-proclaimed “Kanye West of EDM” and finally, known most formally by his stage name, Dj Carnage. This disc jockey has made an incredible ascension in the electronic dance music realm over the past few years. Born in Washington D.C. and raised in Guatemala, this 25-year-old dj, singer, producer has a style and flare all his own, and is renowned for his intense energy during his shows. He does, says, eats, and spins whatever he wants. He’s probably one of the most brash entertainers of today, and his fans adore every bit of it. His multifaceted, carpe diem inspired motif and innate passion for his craft are what draws his mammoth-sized crowds.

After dropping out during his sophomore year of high school, moving across the nation and sleeping on a buddy’s couch until his rise to the top, Carnage is no stranger to risking it all for his dreams. His tenacity and unwillingness to throw in the towel are what ultimately ensured his paradigm shift from struggle to success. Since his big break with the legendary Dj Tiesto spinning live in front of a half a million fans on YouTube, Carnage has catapulted upward in the EDM/Trap scene. He later would produce a remix to Hardwell’s 2012 colossal hit, “Spaceman,” which expedited his career, thus spawning a large Soundcloud following, back to back concerts and tours, as well as locking in accredited collaborations with other djs and producers, such as KSHMR, Borgore, Headhunterz, and Timmy Trumpet, while releasing a slew of carefree, explicit remixes of his own along the way. His single “The Underground,” co-produced with Alvaro in 2014, is possibly his most notable work to date, later followed by “Toca” and “I Like Tuh” released in 2015 under Ultra Records.

In essence, this man is a large-room house performer, festival trapaholic, Spanish beat-smith hybrid, who relishes in every bit of his popularity and has no problem labeling himself as the best in the game, which, he may very well be. After all, you can’t deny his marketing genius, as he’s had his hand in multiple baskets within the industry, has received countless nods for his diverse remix tailoring from multiple genres, and even scored himself a lifetime supply of Chipotle. Not to mention, he’s got a rabid, ever escalating fan base that fuels his unabashed ego. With no reserves or regrets, he’s an influential success story, and is damn good at what he does.

Now based in Los Angeles, Carnage is constantly touring and performing. His debut album, Papi Gordo, is currently on iTunes. Listen to a few gems from his body of work and see for yourself what all the fuss is about. Be sure to catch him spinning at JMBLYA 2016. Get your tickets here.

JMBLYA Presents: Kevin Gates

kevin

Straight out of Baton Rouge, Kevin Gates first started rapping in 2005 when he met fellow Louisiana natives Webbie and Lil Boosie. Gates would then make his debut in 2007 with his mixtape Pick of da Litter, and release other projects titled All In and I Don’t Know What to Call It, Vol. 1 over the next few years. Gates then received national attention in 2008 when he was on a song titled “Get in the Way” with Lil Boosie. Soon after the song was released, Gates and Boosie would both be incarcerated in separate cases.

In a personal interview with Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg, Gates said, “I received my Masters in Psychology in prison. I got my ACT in prison. I did all of that in jail.” As for how much time he actually spent locked up, he says, “That’s a lot of years, I been in and out since a child. This is the culture of Louisiana. They have more people locked up in the state of Louisiana than any other country in the world. It’s very poverty-stricken. So being in and out jail is a way of life for most poverty-stricken individuals. I don’t wanna say young black males, so I’ll just say young males. But the majority is like 99% black, overcrowded prison systems.”

After his release in 2011, Gates spent many years on the mixtape circuit. In 2013, everything changed quickly when Gates dropped the popular The Luca Brasi Story mixtape. Even though, the success of Gates’ music had been slowly gaining traction, and he was already a cult phenomenon in Louisiana, the release of Luca Brasi Story would turn him into a hip-hop critical darling. In 2013, Gates signed a major label deal with Atlantic Records.

Gates would now move on to completing his contract with the indie imprint Breadwinners Association by also releasing Stranger Than Fiction in 2013. The album debuted at number 37 on the Billboard 200 chart with features from stars like Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J, and Starlito. He followed up a successful year by releasing a project in 2014 titled By Any Means, a free album that debuted at number 17 on the Billboard 200.

In 2015 Gates released a song titled “Kno One,” which was included on Gates’ debut studio album, Islah, later released January 29 this year. The album was inspired by his daughter, whose name is Islah, a word that mean “to make better.”

Listen to some of Kevin Gates’ material below before you head out to see him shut down JMBLYA 2016. Get your tickets here.

JMBLYA Presents: Kehlani

kehlani

To paraphrase the intro of Kehlani’s 2015 smash mixtape You Should Be Here, this Grammy-nominated artist has been through more than some will in their entire lives “all before the age of being able to buy a f**king drink at a bar.” When you hear the talented singer/songwriter’s lyrics and see her perform, you can easily forget that she’s only 20 years old. She’s been on the rise for the past couple of years, thanks to hits like “FWU,” “The Way,” and “Alive,” and her work with artists like KYLE, G-Eazy, and Pusha T. Her sultry R&B sound, take-nothing-from-no-one attitude, and even her energetic dance moves have been key to helping her take the music scene by storm.

Hailing from Oakland, California, Kehlani got her first taste of stardom when she appeared on America’s Got Talent with the band PopLyfe while she was still in high school. After leaving the band, she released her first mixtape Cloud 19 in 2014, which achieved critical success and even landed on Complex’s Best Albums of 2014 list, even though it only had 8 tracks. Cloud 19 set Kehlani up to be the next big thing to come out of the Bay — incorporating her Oakland style and even featuring fellow HBK Gang member Iamsu!

In April 2015, Kehlani dropped her highly anticipated second mixtape You Should Be Here, which peaked at number 5 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop albums and included features from JMBLYA alum Chance the Rapper and BJ the Chicago Kid. YSBH scored Kehlani her first Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album.

There’s a reason Kehlani’s You Should Be Here tour sold out almost every show. Kehlani started out as a dancer and can still move circles around most other performers out right now. Her DJ Noodles wakes the crowd up and Kehlani and her squad, consisting of her best friends, put on a sexy and energetic performance. Kehlani’s loyal fans, dubbed the Tsunami Mob, pack the house when she comes to town because they know Kehlani will connect with them and inspire them. Don’t be fooled by her tough, tatted exterior; she’s been through struggle and pain and she’s not afraid to break it down and tell her audience what she’s been through and more importantly, that it gets better.

Get familiar with Kehlani’s music before you see her turn JMBLYA all the way up by listening below. Also follow her on Snapchat @kehlanitsunami. Trust us.
